Jac Caglianone Slugs First Triple-A Homer
The 22-year-old Royals slugger swung a powerful bat in Double-A and wasted no time making noise at the next level. In true Caglianone fashion, he crushed a solo shot on a pitch down the middle Thursday for Triple-A Omaha, launching it 410 feet to right field with a blistering 113.6 mph exit velocity. It’s the kind of loud contact that has come to be expected from Caglianone and it’s translating just fine against tougher competition. Through his first week in Triple-A, he is 4-for-13 after hitting.322 with a .947 OPS with nine home runs in Double-A.
